Extending Video Length with Video References (v1.01)

When generating videos with references in the Video Gen tool, you can extend a source video by adding new shots before and after it while preserving consistent character appearance, motion, and voice throughout the sequence.

New Shots After

Use the following references to extend the video by adding new shots after the existing sequence.

  • Start Frame: Use the ending reference image [Image 5] from the previous output as the beginning frame of the new generation to seamlessly continue the scene between the two videos.
  • AI Actor: Reuse the same AI Actors [Chimp Male] and [OrcWarrior] to preserve character consistency.
  • Image: Reuse the same outfit references [Image 1] and [Image 2], weapon references [Image 3] and [Image 4], and scene setup [Image 5] to maintain visual consistency throughout the scene.
  • Video: Use the previously generated AI output [Video 1] as a reference to carry over visuals, composition, overall scene setup, characters, music, and audio, helping extend the animation style consistently across the new shots.

Shot 1 (0.0- 4.0s): The Divine Dive
A high-speed, cinematic diving camera swoops down from the fiery peak of the volcanic mountain ruins (Image 5). The male chimpanzee (Chimp Male), clad in the majestic red and gold armor with a long-feathered headdress (Image 1, fiercely swings his long, ornate golden cudgel (Image 3). The strike unleashes a torrent of glowing golden particles that trail the wind of his staff, cutting through the red smog and jagged volcanic rocks.

Shot 2 (4.0 - 7.5s): The Heavy Parry
The camera cuts to a low-angle tracking shot of the intense clash. The muscular, bald orc warrior with red tattoos (OrcWarrior), wearing the dark steel Chinese-style lion armor (Image 2, swings his massive dual ox-head axes (Image 4) in a powerful parry. Surrounded by a dark-gold, ethereal phantom aura, explosive sparks and embers fly through the churning smoke as their weapons collide.

Shot 3 (7.5- 11.0s): The Spectral Orbit
The camera rapidly orbits around the combatants. The chimpanzee warrior (Chimp Male) leaps and flips mid-air, his red and gold armor (Image 1) gleaming as he is surrounded by floating, monkey-shaped avatar particles. He executes a sweeping strike with his golden cudgel (Image 3), causing the ring of smoke to dynamically swirl with the camera's rotation.

Shot 4 (11.0- 15.0s): The Chase & Final Impact
A tight tracking shot follows a breathless chase through narrow canyons and crumbling ancient pillars. The chimpanzee relentlessly presses his attack while the orc warrior swiftly counters with his dual axes. The camera suddenly pulls back into an epic wide shot as their ultimate strike detonates into a shower of golden rain, framing a majestic panoramic view of the burning volcanic battlefield (Image 5).

Shot 5 (15.0 - 18.5s): The Shattered Ground
As the shower of golden rain from the final impact clears, the camera shifts to a shaky, ground-level medium shot. The powerful shockwave has cracked the volcanic earth beneath them. The orc warrior (OrcWarrior), heavily breathing and his dark steel armor (Image 2) scorched, is forced backward, his dual ox-head axes (Image 4) scraping against the rock as he struggles to maintain his balance amid the rising steam and embers.

Shot 6 (18.5-22.0s): Airborne Ascent & Disarm
A dynamic, low-angle tracking shot follows the chimpanzee warrior (Chimp Male). He instantly capitalizes on the opening, vaulting off a crumbling ancient pillar and spinning through the air. With blinding speed, he delivers a decisive, non-lethal strike with his golden cudgel (Image 3) directly to the orc's weapons, disarming him and forcing the dual axes to fly out of frame and embed themselves into the fiery stone.

Shot 7 (22.0-26.0s): The Ultimate Masterpose (Conclusion)
The camera smoothly glides into a heroic close-up that transitions into a full-body medium shot, heavy cinematic shadows framing his face. The chimpanzee warrior (Chimp Male) drops into a low, powerful martial arts stance. With effortless mastery, he performs a lightning-fast, flashy sequence of spinning the golden cudgel (Image 3) around his shoulders and behind his back, creating a circular trail of lingering golden embers. He brings the staff to a sudden, dramatic halt, resting it firmly behind his back with one hand while his other hand forms a classic warrior sign. His long-feathered headdress (Image 1) and red-gold armor sway elegantly in the wind against the epic, burning panoramic backdrop of the volcanic battlefield (Image 5)

Shot 5 to Shot 7 are a direct continuation of Video 1. Video 1 must also serve as the reference for the visuals, composition, overall scene, and characters for Shot 5 to Shot 7. The music and audio must continue seamlessly as well.

New Shots Before

Use the following references to extend the video by adding new shots before the existing sequence.

  • AI Actor: Reuse the same AI Actor [Chimp Male] to preserve character consistency.
  • Image: Reuse the same outfit reference [Image 1], weapon reference [Image 2], and beginning reference image [Image 3] from the previous output as the ending frame of the new generation. This helps maintain visual consistency and ensures a seamless transition between the two videos.
  • Audio: Use a pre-generated voiceover audio track for playback in the new generation.
  • Video: Use the previously generated AI output [Video 1] as a reference to carry over visuals, composition, scene setup, characters, and music, helping extend the animation style consistently across the new shots.

Shot 1 (0.0 - 4.5s): The Golden Awakening
Visuals: An extreme close-up of the chimpanzee warrior's (Chimp Male) face. He wears the iconic feathered ritual headdress from his mythical armor (Image 1 ), floating amidst calm, high-altitude clouds. His eyes are closed in deep meditation, his face serene. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifts. His expression changes from profound stillness to sensing a distant threat, tightening into pure rage. His eyes snap open, glowing with golden energy.
Voiceover (playing Audio 1 ): "Thousands of years ago, a powerful guardian god protected humanity and the sacred land...". Camera: Static extreme close-up, subtly vibrating as his rage builds.

Shot 2 (4.5 - 7.5s): Skyward Vault
Visuals: The camera cuts to a dynamic medium shot as he violently erupts from his meditative stance, revealing his full legendary red-and-gold armor (Image 1 ). He launches himself upward, shattering the sea of clouds around him. At the peak of his jump, he flips gracefully yet powerfully, redirecting his momentum completely while firmly grasping his unique golden cudgel (Image 2 , featuring the dark ebony staff wrapped in intricate gold dragon carvings on both ends).

Shot 3 (7.5 - 10.0s): The Descent Begins (Match Cut Transition)
Visuals: Tightly gripping his dual-toned golden cudgel (Image 2 ), he tucks his armored body (Image 1) and initiates a vertical dive, pointing directly down toward the fiery earth below. The clouds instantly vanish, replaced by the rising heat haze and smoke of the volcanic ruins. The camera matches his speed perfectly, framing his back as he plunges headfirst into the volcano.
Audio: The voiceover fades out as a dramatic, booming sound effect (SFX) echoes, blending into the roaring sound of wind and volcanic eruption.
Camera: A high-speed, overhead tracking dive that accelerates rapidly, seamlessly transitioning and connecting directly into the framing of the final diving shot at the 10th second.

Shot 1 to Shot 3 are a direct continuation of Video 1, with Image 3 being the final frame of Video 1 . Video 1 must serve as the reference for the visuals, composition, editing style, overall scene, and characters for Shot 1 to Shot 3. The music can be a suitable continuation of Video 1 , but the overall sound effects must transition seamlessly.

Combining All Shots

Since the three AI-generated outputs are rendered in a seamless, highly consistent style across characters, motion, audio, environments, and overall visuals, you can use an external video editing tool to combine them into a single continuous video.
